Snow switch


The snow was bad enough here to close the schools yesterday, today and tomorrow. However, if this wasn’t the case, I wonder if my son would have a similar conversation tomorrow as he waited for the bus.

Pandora’s Box


“Hmmm. I wonder if I should open this?”

Sometimes there aren’t many choices are there? Sometimes, there are plenty of choices but we seem attracted to the bad ones. There’s a little Pandora in all of us, isn’t there?

Bad Cold



Boy to dad: “I’m glad you’re feeling better. I’d hate to replace you.”

I’ve been recovering from a nice, holiday cold. My kids have been nice, and sincere about my welfare. I imagined this morning what would happen if they were younger and had a more selfish motive. Good thing you can’t just pick up a new dad from the Home Depot.

Was it a Silent Night?


Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
‘Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Reverend Joseph Mohr

Anybody who thought it was a silent night has never been in a barn. We tend to think of the peaceful, quiet nativity scenes like this coloring page I drew.

We gloss over the nativity story so many times and have romantic notions of what it may have been like. But if it was like any of the barns I’ve been in, there was nothing romantic about it.

What a way to enter the world. What a sacrifice to make!

Merry Christmas!

Everybody’s gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas?

I was at a work luncheon and Santa Claus showed up. He was roasting some key employees because they’ve been naughty this year.

I started thinking, “Wow! nobody has been nice this year.” So Santa gave me gift in the form of this cartoon. Thanks, Santa!
